ASi POWERLINK Gateways – High Availability and Ideal for B&R PLCs
ASi POWERLINK Gateways for standard and safety – always equipped with OPC UA and REST API
Our ASi gateways with POWERLINK interface are available with and without an integrated safety monitor. They are ideal for connecting AS-Interface (ASi) to a B&R PLC. With the state-of-the-art IT interfaces OPC UA and REST API, you can implement IIoT projects quickly and easily. As an edge device, a single gateway collects data from hundreds of sensors and actuators - and can make it available to cloud-based databases, for example.
All modern ASi-5/ASi-3 gateways can be securely updated in the field and can therefore meet future safety requirements long after commissioning. In addition, ASi already guarantees a high level of cyber security due to its structure. Find out more about IIoT and Industry 4.0 here.
For standard applications
ASi POWERLINK Gateways without integrated safety monitor
We recommend for almost all standard applications the article BWU4016. Here you also benefit from our new power supply generation.
BWU4016
1 ASi circuit, 1 ASi-5/ASi-3 Master
- integrated decoupling
max. 4 A per ASi circuit
Diagnostics and configuration via Ethernet diagnostic interface
OPC UA interface and integrated webserver for easy diagnostics and maintenance
For openSafety applications
ASi POWERLINK Gateway with integrated openSafety communication
However, if you are dependent on openSafety communication – e.g. due to the use of safe B&R PLCs – you can alternatively use the ASi POWERLINK gateway BWU3865 (for 2 ASi circuits). The gateway offers integrated openSafety communication for easy integration of the safe signals into the safe B&R PLC.
BWU3865
- 2 ASi circuits, 2 ASi-5/ASi-3 Master
- integrated decoupling
- max. 4 A per ASi circuit
- Diagnostics and configuration via Ethernet diagnostic interface
- Safety communication via Safe Link
- OPC UA interface and integrated webserver for easy diagnostics and maintenance
- openSafety over POWERLINK communication integrated
